To facilitate the lifelong learning and career progression of financial practitioners, IBF has identified skillsets specific to the financial industry.

Industry practitioners can use these skillsets as professional development roadmaps, to identify the skills needed for their job roles or functions.

Future Enabled Skills

The financial industry is transforming. With intensified competition from both bank and non-bank players looking to leverage technology and disrupt existing value chains in financial services, more and more financial institutions are stepping up to explore ways to better serve existing customers and reach new ones.
